MECHANISMS OF
DISEASE BY
PATHOGENS
• Utilization of host nutritional
resources
• Physical damage to host tissues
• Production of toxic substances
• Chromosomal and gene damage
• Body cells behave abnormally

VIRUSES

5
Antigens
Some chemical that creates immune response
Most are proteins or large polysaccharides from a foreign
organism.
 Microbes: Capsules, cell walls, toxins, viral capsids, flagella, etc.
 Nonmicrobes : Pollen,, serum proteins, and surface molecules from
transplanted tissue.
6
Antigens
Epitope:
Small part of an antigen that interacts with an
antibody. 10-12 amino acids
Any given antigen may have several epitopes.
Each epitope is recognized by a different
antibody.
7
EPITOPES: ANTIGEN REGIONS THAT
INTERACT WITH ANTIBODIES

Defense Mechanisms
1. External defense
2. Internal Defense
3. Immune Defense
9
• Skin acts as barrier to microbes and viruses
- sweat has a low pH
• Mucus traps foreign particles
• Tears
- Lysozyme has antimicrobial action
• Gastric stomach acid
1st Line of Defense

• Phagocytic cells (WBCs)
- Natural Killer (NK) Cells: attack virus
infected cells
• Inflammatory Response
• Antimicrobial proteins
- Lysozyme
- Interferon
- Antibodies

MECHANISM OF
PHAGOCYTOSIS
Mechanism of Phagocytosis
Macrophage 14
Lymphatic System
15
Inflammatory Response
Histamine &
prostaglandin
s released
Capillaries dilate
Clotting begins
Chemotactic
factors attract
phagocytic cells
Phagocytes
consume
pathogens &
cell debris
16
CHARACTERISTICS OF
IMMUNITY
• Response is specific
• Retains a “memory” allowing an
accelerated second response
• Can respond to many different
materials
• Involves lymphocytes and antibodies
17
TYPES OF
IMMUNITY
• Active Immunity
- Naturally-Acquired Active Immunity
- Artificially-Acquired Active Immunity
• Passive Immunity
- Naturally-Acquired Passive Immunity
- Artificially-Acquired Passive Immunity
18
TYPES OF
ACQUIRED
IMMUNITY
19
ACTIVE IMMUNITY
The production of antibodies against a specific disease by the immune system.
Naturally acquired through disease
Artificially acquired through vaccination
 Vaccines include inactivated toxins, killed microbes, parts of microbes, and viable but
weakened microbes.
Active immunity is usually permanent
20
PASSIVE IMMUNITY
Passive Immunity- Protection against
disease through antibodies produced by
another human being or animal.
Effective, but temporary
Ex. Maternal antibodies.
21
Passive immunity can be transferred artificially by injecting antibodies from an
animal that is already immune to a disease into another animal.
22
IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE TO
ANTIGENS
Humoral Immunity
• Involves antibodies (secreted from B
cells) dissolved in the blood plasma.
• Demonstrated as a immune response
using only the blood serum.
• Defense against bacteria, bacterial
toxins, & viruses.
23
Cell-Mediated Immunity
• Involves the activities of specific white
blood cells (T cells).
• Defense against cancer cells, virus-
infected cells, fungi, animal parasites, &
foreign cells from transplants.
IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE TO
ANTIGENS
24
Lymphocyte Formation
25
B CELLS
• Mature in bone marrow
• Involved in humoral immunity
• Once activated by antigen, proliferate
into two clones of cells: plasma cells
that secrete antibodies and memory
cells that may be converted into plasma
cells at a later time

30
Antibodies
Proteins that recognize and bind to a particular
antigen with very high specificity.
Made in response to exposure to the antigen.
One virus or microbe may have several antigenic
determinant sites, to which different antibodies may
bind.
Each antibody has at least two identical sites that
bind antigen: Antigen binding sites.
Belong to a group of serum proteins called
immunoglobulins (Igs).
31
Antibody Structure
Monomer: A flexible Y-shaped molecule with four protein
chains:
 2 identical light chains
 2 identical heavy chains
32
ANTIBODY STRUCTURE
33
MECHANISMS ON ANTIBODY
ACTION
• Precipitation of soluble antigens
• Agglutination of foreign cells
• Neutralization
• Enhanced phagocytosis
• Complement activation leading to cell lysis
• Stimulates inflammation
34
The binding of antibodies to antigens to form antigen-antibody complexes is the
basis of several antigen disposal mechanisms.
35
Immunoglobin Classes
IgM
• 1st response to antigen
• Effective in agglutination
• Can’t cross placenta
IgG
• Most common form
• Crosses blood vessels
• Crosses placenta (passive
immunity to fetus)
• Provides immunity to new
born babies
IgA
• Secreted from mucus membranes
• Prevents attachment of bacteria
to epithelial surface
• In colostrum
IgD
• B cell activation
• Can’t cross placenta
IgE
• Histamine reactions
and allergies
36
Overview of Immune System Responses
37
T CELLS
• Mature in thymus
• Involved in cell-mediated immunity
• Activated when another cell presents
antigen to them
• Several types of T cells: cytoxic T cells,
helper T cells, suppressor T cells, and
memory T cells
